Boy Reveals Bike

Geez, it's hard to believe I never posted a picture of my bike. Here it is, in all its glory but without the glory of a decent photographer (notice the withering vines on my backyard fence). The second picture is the bike's rear end and gear mechanism. For you geek heads out there, it's the Shimano Nexus Inter-7 internally geared rear hub, which means basically that everything is inside that little silver hub there, you betcha. I think it's pretty cool, though being limited to seven gears has its downside, especially downhill. Even in top gear going downhill, I pedal like the Wicked Witch of the West completely hopped up on meth.
